Lots of new mothers get stretch marks during and after pregnancy. These stretch marks can occur with anyone and at any time and they are the result of skin that has been stretched to its limits and beyond. This results in a breakdown of the underlying collagen formation and as it tries to knit itself back together, the stretch marks are the scarred results. These stretch marks are deep in the skin’s layers, and even then you can sometimes run your fingers over the area and still feel a bit of ridging.
